I want you filthy heathens to know that I am typing this missive at great risk to life and limb. Mostly limb.
I have developed a seizure. Yes, something of mine now seizes. The seizings happen to the bird-flippin’ digit of my right hand, the single most-used finger in the profession of gonzo blogging. I can’t tell you how many times I gave my editors the deuce during the birth of my now-unpublished “review” of Resistance: Fall of Man. I believe I referred to a Sony representative in simian terms, and many were the birds that flipped over that article, let me tell you.
What I’m saying is that this is a professional hazard, one I knew I would face when I signed up for the mission. I will be absent from my usual haunts for an undetermined amount of time. I’m on Xbox Live a lot because my thumbs are fine and Hexic is a natural opiate.
Rikki painted this beautiful donkey jet thing using actual paint (for the first time in ten years) and named it “Eliza”. I think it’s probably useless to ask why. Somehow I feel I should be ashamed, and scramble to cover my nakedness. As if he donned a pith helmet and protective eyewear, and ventured deep into the dim wilderness of my essential being, and there set up an easel and arrayed his paints just so, and recorded only what he saw. I am a belching, airborne maniac and until now, I’ve been able to keep it relatively quiet.
Truly, I am the “Madame X” of my generation.
A fair chunk of my artworks will be in the upcoming issue of Other, which is a zine I am ashamed to admit I know nothing about. This ties to the previous paragraphs because my renderings of characters from Rikki and Tavisha’s “Ranklechick and His Three-Legged Cat” will probably be included, albeit in monochrome.
The Bee Commission (a collection of paintings, drawings and sketches based on a year’s work to create a “demon bee” for a commission) will go up at Glo’s on Cap Hill at the end of April. Load-in is the 29th. I was informed that Glo’s does not “do” openings, since they are a breakfast spot. I think there should occur a brunch at least. Perhaps I can make reservations.
My other show will hang at Lighthouse Roasters in Fremont, and will be more of a catch-all. Pieces from Unhallowed Metropolis and other books, as well as Monocle, Bat Smax, and whatever else I can finish before load-in. Jesus christ.

The Official Unhallowed Metropolis Photoshoot Party (edit: fixed links)
-
- Unhallowed Metropolis Photoshoot Party -
- 1/20 6pm until dawn @ Jason Soles’ loft -
- snacks, photos, scintillating intellect -
- http://www.newdarkage.net -
-
If playing dress-up, getting your picture taken, and eating schneckens in a vintage warehouse loft sounds like a badass Saturday night, we have you covered.
By now I’ve sent most of you invitations to the photoshoot/party happening this weekend at Jason Soles’ place. I have no organized mailing list, so if anyone wants to come and didn’t get invited, let me know.
I know we have Rit and his crew rolling from Bellingham, as well as S4n and his crew, so other Hamlets who require wheels would do well to hook up with the caravans.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO YOU: We’re taking photos to turn into illustrations for the book, which is an RPG set in a steampunk future London that is infested with zombies, vampires, cheap whores, inbred aristocrats and the unsavory lower class. I’ll grab the photos and manip them a bit so they look aged, then they go in the book and you all become famous RPG models. Just like…uh…
WHAT TO BRING: We need all the props, costumes and doodads you can spare. The theme is Victorian, mostly, but feel free to augment with rococo, 1700’s, and Edwardian.
Try to keep cyber and fetish influence to a minimum, this isn’t the World of Dorkness. Bring any hats, monstrous prosthetics, fake blood, fangs, monocles, wigs, feathers, jewelry, boots, scarves, bones and skulls, makeup, ribbons, parasols, corsets, oldschool spectacles and whatnot that you can. BRING EVERYTHING.
We also need technological flourishes: gearwheels, goggles, medical items, that sort of thing.
Any outfits you can put together that we are allowed to make completely filthy will make us very happy. Futurelondon is even sootier and more decrepit than it was in the 1800’s, and photoshopped filth just doesn’t have the same oomph.
Here’s the website for the book: http://www.newdarkage.net
And the photos from the last UnMet party, which was not officially a photoshoot but should have been: http://www.kascadia.org/unhallowed2/index.html
Also, woo, I get to see you if you show up. Which happens maybe once a year (because I’m a bad friend, you all live like 500 miles away, I’m busy, you’re busy, and I’m sorry).
Frankly I’m not sure what the ratio of party:photoshoot will be, but there WILL be food and tea and music and drink and dressing up and hanging out. Maybe even punch and pie. People who feel like bringing food or drink are encouraged to do so and will be thanked vehemently.
Marc17 and I are manning the official cameras, there will be other photographers present, and I’m under the impression that there are several people doing makeup and hair, including ME! If you can do your own, neato. If you’re not persnickety about having me do it (or add to/change it), even neatoer. If you can DO makeup and hair, rad.
And after the photoshoot there will be a dance-off. The loser will have to pose for the “about the author” shot in the back of the book. NUDE.
